Site Support Contractor Solicitations

Financial Assistance for R&D Opportunities

  • Grants are used when there is no need for substantial involvement between the recipient and agency during performance of the grant.
  • Cooperative agreements are used when substantial involvement is needed between the recipient and agency during performance.

Submit competitive proposals in response to solicitations.

Submit unsolicited proposals in response to Notices of Program Interest.

 

Acquisitions or Procurements

Opportunities

Selling Goods and Services for Use by NETL

Simplified acquisition contracts are used to acquire goods and services for the direct use of the Federal Government.

Submit competitive proposals in response to solicitations.

 

CRADAs, Patents, and Licenses Opportunities
Under Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs), several parties agree to collaborate on a specific research project. No money changes hands with this type of agreement. NETL actively seeks opportunities to partner with the private sector and academia to develop and commercialize new energy and environmental technologies using CRADAs. Generally, the first step in forming a CRADA is an expression of interest to NETL by the potential private-sector participant.
NETL makes some inventions available to the private sector for licensing. Refer to the listing of patents available for licensing.

Tax Credit Certification Questions

 

The Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is collaborating with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to evaluate applications for Tax Credits under Section 1307 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, per instructions in the Treasury and IRS Notice 2007-52 and Notice 2007-53, which can be found at http://www.netl.doe.gov/publications/press/2007/07050-DOE_Releases_Tax_Credit_Applicatio.html.

NETL's Technology Partnerships Ombudsman helps resolve complaints regarding cooperative research and development agreements, patents, and technology licensing.
